Rainy Day

Bee Bowers

Three little ducks walk out in the rain.
Quack! Quack! Quack!
Each with his waterproof feathers
Folded along his back,

Each with his little pink rubbers
Waddling into town.
Each finds a pond of which he is fond
And stands in it upside down!

Little Raindrops

J.F. Kinsey

Little raindrops fill the fountains,
Little birds sing in the trees,
Little sand grains make the mountains,
Little hives are filled with bees.

All the little things are useful,
And the children must be too,
There is always work made ready
For the little hands to do.

  • Rainy Day Song

    Violet Alleyn Storey

    The spring rain is soft rain.
    The soft rain is sweet
    And warm, and falls gently
    On each country street.

    And out in the soft rain,
    Pink blossoms now blow;
    In sweet rain and warm rain,
    Blue violets grow.

  • Sky Laundry

    Marie Louise Allen

    Last night, the rain was busy
    With washing out the sky––
    This morning, white and fluffy,
    The clouds are out to dry.

Rubbers and Galoshes

Marie Louise Allen

Rubbers are for rainy days,
Galoshes are for snow.
They make my feet walk quietly,
Everywhere I go.

In summer, when I walk, my feet
Go “Crackle, crackle,” down the street.
But when it rains, or when there’s snow,
My feet so very softly go.

With rubbers or galoshes on,
I cannot hear my feet.
Without them, I go “Crackle, crackle, 
Crackle,” down the street!

The Shower

Unknown

Hear the rain, patter, patter,
On the pane, clatter, clatter!
Down it pours, helter, pelter;
Quick indoors! Shelter, shelter!
See it gush, and roar and whirl,
Swiftly rush, eddy, and swirl
Through the street, down the gutters!
How it splashes—but we don’t care
Though it dashes everywhere.
We don’t care, for, peeping through—
See! Up there—a patch of blue!
And the sun, in spite of rain,
Has begun to smile again.
